Mastoid augmentation (chin augmentation) Silicone prosthesis, hyaluronic acid

A silicone prosthesis or hyaluronic acid is placed at the tip of the chin to form a beautiful impression of the chin contour.
A clean jawline tightens the mouth and gives a balanced impression to the entire face.

Recommended for this type of person

Those with small, receding chins.
Short jaw
For those who want to have a sharp chin
Those who wish to have a face line.

Features of this hospital

In the surgery, a 3 cm incision is made in the oral cavity and a prosthesis is inserted under the periosteum.
The prosthesis is firmly secured to prevent postoperative movement, and the wound is sutured neatly.
*In the case of silicon prostheses, our clinic uses the 3D simulation software "vectra" before surgery to provide a 3D image of the postoperative result, and the ideal size of the silicon prosthesis is determined during the consultation with the patient.

-Silicon Prosthesis silicone prosthesis

We have a variety of prostheses in different shapes to accommodate various jaw shapes.
Using a preoperative simulation, the size of the prosthesis is determined in consultation with the patient.

*Inserted under the periosteum, it fits smoothly without deformation, deterioration, or displacement.

Postoperative risks and side effects

-Philadelphia infection: If there is prolonged "heat," "redness," "severe pain," or "severe swelling" in the treated area after surgery, infection is suspected.
If left untreated, the skin may break, pus may appear, or the prosthesis may pop out, so treatment is always necessary.

-Hematoma hematoma: If blood accumulates due to postoperative bleeding, the jaw and neck may swell to a purple color. If the blood is left to pool, it may become infected or form a lump, so it must be treated as soon as possible.

-Dr. Numbness in the jaw: When a pocket is made for the prosthesis, it is stripped near the sensory nerve and the nerve is pulled, which may cause a loss of sensation from the jaw to the gums of the jaw. It varies from person to person, but in most cases it resolves within a year. In rare cases, sensation may never completely return to normal.

-Dr. Bent or misaligned prosthesis: Although the inserted prosthesis is immobilized in a cast for 3 days after surgery to prevent it from moving, bending or misalignment may occur due to pressure from the jaw muscles. If the patient is concerned about the postoperative bending, the position of the prosthesis will need to be corrected between one and three months after the surgery, depending on the situation.
